Exercise: 90° Turn (90s) - High Ground Build Technique

Exercise Description

90s are a core building technique in Fortnite, used to rapidly gain vertical ground while rotating above your current position. Mastering 90s lets you take highground control in build fights and maintain pressure on opponents. This drill uses the method demonstrated in the video: ramp → two walls → floor → stair rotation → repeat.

Step-by-Step

  1. Load the Practice Map
    Use Coach Philip's Practice Map:
    Map Code: 1610-6883-6388
  2. Initial Setup
    Place a ramp to start your build, facing forward.
  3. Add Two Walls
    Quickly place walls up in front and up to the right—creating a structure that helps guide your turn.
  4. Add Floor and Stair
    Continue looking at the wall you built to the right. Look slightly down and place a floor and stair to complete the 90.
  5. Continue Cycling
    Keep repeating 90s to build height and maintain momentum.

Skill Focus

  • Speed & Rhythm: Develop fluid and constant motion when turning corners.
  • Spatial Awareness: Learn to build while rotating your camera smoothly.
  • High-Ground Control: Maintain elevation advantage and dominate the fight.

Final Tip

Start slow and focus on clean placement. Speed will come naturally with repetition. Once you master basic 90s, you can progress to more advanced variations like triple 90s and side jumps.
